uncertain and hard to please. Christ
mas was enjoyed highly by Iukans. All
say they had fine time. Marriage bells
have been ringing out all over the State,
but none in Iuka. What can the matter
be? Surely not for want of material,
for few places can boast prettier young
women than Iuka.

teenth time. What place can beat that
Elder w. L. Skinner is pastor of the
Baptist church and Cogsdell of the

good woi kers in the cause. Iuka should
congratulate herself on having two such

E. S. Gambler, ST., goes to the neigh

she will not be long in recognizing the
valuable acquisition to her society and

John Linton, who lives a few miles
north of this place, shot and killed a
Dir. Donaldson during the holidays. He
had preliminary trial last week, and
was bound in the nominal bond of $500,
for appearance. 1t is the general i'm
preston that he will be acquitted.
The second Institute of the school
year was held here last Saturday. The
teachers turn out well, and are inter
ested in the Institute work. No doubt
that the Institute work is the best fea-
ture of the new law. 1t will bring the
teachers together, and enable them to
hear more of each others methods, and
this means progress.
Professor Dean has perfected his ar
rangements to give students of the Nor
NAL Institute board at the very low
price of seven dollars per month. He
wants all the young teachers in the
S tate to take course in the Normal,
and intends to give them an opportunity
to DO so if cheap board is an induce
ment- This cheap board arrangement
is especially for teachers and new stu
dents, but will be open to all till the

The convicts were drawn up in two

Rev. De-. MCGLYNN, the Catholi C
priest who was suspended from his Office
of rector of St. Stephens Church, New
York City, and summoned to Rome be-
cause of his activity in politics, and es-
pecially because of his connection with
the Henry George movement, has re-
fused to obey the summons, and has,
consequently, been permanently sus-
pended from his priestly functions.
His standing now is that of suspended
priest, who, at any time before his
death, if he so desires, can have his case
tried and make his submission. He will
not be disgraced priest, for he has
committed no offense against morality
nor an apostate priest, for he still holds
firmly to all the dogmas of the Catholic
faith. His offense, although in the eyes
of the church most serious, is the tech
nical one of characterization to disci
pline, and involves no personal dishonor

The CLARION, until the decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
was not satisfied that Congress had the
power TO regulate the tariff of railroad
companies; but that decision, though
its reasoning may not be convincing,
settles the question, at least, for the
present. 1t was necessary that the ques-
ton should be settled, and the country
is to be congratulated on reaching this
stage of the struggle between the people
and the gigantic monopolies that have
made and ruined individuals and COM
munities.

A Victory for the People.

The report of the conference commit
tee on the interstate commerce bill
was adopted by the Senate on the 18th.
Strong arguments had been made for
and against the report, and at last when
it was seen that the motion to adopt it
would prevail, Senator Frye, of Maine.
moved to re-commit the report with in
structions to the Senate conferees to in
sist on the provisions Of the Senate bill
relating to pooling and short and long
hauls; but he voted with the majority
on the motion to adopt the report.
The vote on the motion to re commit
the report was: yeas, %; nays, Sc: and
on the motion to adopt, it was, yeas, 43;
nays, Is.
The bill will now go to the House, and
there is no reason to doubt that the con-
ference report will be adopted by that
body by a greater majority than it re-
ceived in the Senate.
One can scarcely imagine the extent
to which the railroads have gone in
their effort to prevent the passage of
this just measure. The lobby at Wash
ington is said to be the largest and
strongest that ever infested the Capital
and reprints of editorials in opposition
to the bill, which have appeared in some
of the leading newspapers have been
sent out for republication, with the hope
that a public sentiment might be Gre
ated which would have its influence
with Congress.
There is much to cause the belief
that the railroad influence with the
Senate is stronger than it should be, but
in this instance the people were stronger
than the railroads, and the victory is a
substantial one, that will be far reaching
in its effects.
